Welcome to our Greek Islands Sailing Adventures!

Greece is SeaScape's original "home", where we started our shareboat concept back in '91. Despite the fun we've had expanding to other exotic destinations, we're still in love with our home islands, and our wonderful local friends who make all the difference to our clients by their spontaneous, outgoing hospitality.Why the Dodecanese islands? Firstly, because they are well off the usual "package tour" routes, and so retain many of the Greek traditions which are sadly now lost to the more well-known "touristy" islands. If you'd prefer to stay within sailing distance of McDonalds - choose an Athens charter base, or visit the islands every has heard of (Mykonos, Santorini, etc). But for those of us who would rather experience a little of the "real" local culture, one has to make a little more effort these days. We think it's worth it.

Secondly, we chose these islands for their prevailing wind conditions. On average, 20-25 knots in midsummer; not too strong, as it can be in the Cyclades (getting stuck in port is no fun!); but plenty strong for some exciting sailing—unlike eg, the Ionian; very beautiful, but very little wind!

And lastly, but certainly not least - we chose this family of islands for their ambience and community feeling - the wonderful welcome which our local friends and "adopted families" give to our SeaScape Sailors. One of our guests some years ago gave us all one of the best compliments, when he wrote in our Ship's Log:

 "When you sail with SeaScape, you never feel like just another tourist".

 We certainly hope not.
